AIR BAGS
NO "ACCIDENT" HAS HAPPENED AS YET. THE AIR BAGS OUTFITTED IN THIS CAR ARE MANUFACTURED BY TANAKA AND THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. IN ALL CLIMATES, THE BAGS HAVE EXPLODED ARE INJURED OR KILLED A PERSON IN THE CAR. CHRYSLER IS ONLY DEALING WITH SELECT CLIMATES FOR AN ACTION THEY ARE TAKING. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL TAKE NO ACTION AT THIS TIME. HOPEFULLY, THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE ACTION AND I WILL BE WILLING TO JOIN CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS. AT PRESENT, IF I AM TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I WOULD BE ENDANGERING MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 IN 2012. THE CAR CAME WITH 4 COOPER TIRES, CS4-265R17. IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 I NOTICED A WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO BE SERVICED (BALANCE/ROTATION/ALIGNMENT). AFTER ALL THIS WORK THE CAR STILL WOBBLED. SO MECHANIC TOOK OFF EACH TIRE TO INVESTIGATE. WHICH HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE BANDS IN THE TIRE HAVE SEPARATED. I PURCHASED A NEW TIRE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO RISK THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD. *TR

UNABLE TO SHIFT GEAR OUT OF PARKING POSITION. THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED AUGUST 2009 AND IS HAPPENING AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE ISSUE WILL SURFACE AND RECENTLY, I WAS IN A NOT SO NICE NEIGHBORHOOD AND FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS OF CUTTING MY CAR OFF AND ON AND EXECUTING THE BRAKES, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR GOING AGAIN. SO OVER THIS ISSUE RIGHT NOW. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 264 THE FIRST TIME THAT THE RED FLASHING BOLT CAME ON THE DASH OF MY CHRYSLER 300 TOURING, 2005, I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 60 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DROPPED DOWN TO LESS THAN 30 MILES. IT WENT INTO THE LIMP HOME MODE. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS IN WHICH ONE PERSON SAID THAT HE HAD THE EQUIPMENT TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. WELL WE GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING EVEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE REGULAR STREETS. WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THE CAR WAS WORST EVEN AFTER TAKING IT BACK THREE TIMES. WE WERE CHARGED OVER $2000.00 BETWEEN THE TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THE CAR IS IN WORST SHAPE THAN WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO GET REPAIRED. I EMAILED CHRYSLER AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE LIST THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. IF CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT, WHO CAN? I PUT IN A SPECIAL ORDER FOR MY CAR BECAUSE I WANTED THE LIGHT GREEN COLOR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE EVER ORDERED A CAR FROM A COMPANY AND THIS IS HOW I AM TREATED. I THANK GOD THAT NO ONE HIT ME IN THE BACK WHEN THIS CAR WAS DOING THIS. IT HAS BEEN PARKED, BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE CAR. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2012 WITH A 3 MONTH WARRANTY. 1 MONTH LATER LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING OCCASIONALLY. THEN WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON LOCAL HIGHWAY LIGHTS WENT OUT TOTALLY. PULLED OFF ROAD AND WAITED UNTIL THEY CAME BACK ON. TOOK BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT, THEY TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS "REPROGRAMMED". NO PROBLEMS UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AGAIN. JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY GO OUT TOTALLY AGAIN AT NIGHT DRIVING DOWN SOME DARK COUNTRY ROAD. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL GET KILLED BEFORE I CAN GET THIS CAR BACK TO A DEALERSHIP, AND THIS TIME I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER HAS NO INTEREST IN PROVIDING A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
